Saw them at the Us Festival in the early 80's. This was their big hit then. RIP Chrissy.

I thought the big hit was "I touch Myself?

Anyway, RIP Chrissy. Way, way WAY too young!

The Prentenders covered this one.

In March 2012, Amphlett took to her Facebook page to share sad news about her ongoing health issues. "Unfortunately the last 18 months have been a real challenge for me having breast cancer and MS and all the new places that will take you," she posted. "You become sadly a patient in a world of waiting rooms, waiting sometimes hours for a result or an appointment. You spend a lot time in cold machines…hospital beds, on your knees praying for miracles, operating rooms, tests after tests, looking at healthy people skip down the street like you once did and you took it all for granted and now wish you could do that. I have not stopped singing throughout all this in my dreams and to be once again performing and doing what I love to do.

"My illnesses have really exhausted this little body of mine that I have thrown from one end of a stage to another and performed thousands of shows that sadly some of you missed. With that said I am getting stronger but there is still some fine tuning and work to be done on myself...I look after myself and my husband has been through this with me every part of the way and I cannot imagine what I would have done without him and his kindness...I will sing again, I will perform again..."
